Leaning into the Light
Since 1999, Sheila Dembowski has been diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease, Myasthenia Gravis, and with fibromyalgia, both of which sent her and those around her on a journey of both challenges and truimphs. Along the way, Sheila also experienced the loss of a close friend to cancer and witnessed the illness and death of her father to dementia. But she also discovered that life is not without miracles, as her story will show, including the birth of her son, despite her health issues. Her memoir is a reflection of how her life was changed by chronic illnesses and how the support of those around her and her faith in God help her to succeed in spite of her difficulties. Told with sincerity, Sheilas story will inspire others to understand that the only thing in life we can really control is the reaction we have to what happens to us.
The Fibromyalgia Story
More than six million Americans—most of them women—have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), a disorder that produces musculo-skeletal pain and fatigue. In the absence of visible evidence, a well-understood cause, or effective treatment, many have questioned whether FMS is a "real" illness. Amidst the controversy, millions of women live with their very real symptoms.Rather than taking sides in the heated debate, Kristin Barker explains how FMS represents an awkward union between the practices of modern medicine and the complexity of women's pain. Using interviews with sufferers, Barker focuses on how the idea of FMS gives meaning and order to women beset by troubling symptoms, self-doubt, and public skepticism.This book offers a fresh look at a controversial diagnosis; Barker avoids overly simplistic explanations and empathizes with sufferers without losing sight of the social construction of disease and its relation to modern medical practice.

Forgotten
A remarkable true account of a woman’s amazing spiritual journey which guided her through a devastating cycle of abuse in her life. Out of her pain and her brokenness, she experienced healing through God’s love. “This feeling that I had ‘to do’ something with all that had happened to me was like a request - like it was my responsibility really - to tell my story and to share what He had taught me in order to help others. It is a very humble feeling to even suggest that I can be any sort of messenger from God; but, all these years later that request still hovers me. I can only hope and pray that by telling my story I will have fulfilled the obligation that I have felt so strongly about for such a long, long time.”

Paintamers
Pain medicine is a relatively new field of medicine. Although easing pain has been an imperative in medical practice from the beginning of medical care, we know very little about how to effectively treat pain. The last three decades has been close to an explosion of knowledge of the mechanisms, chemistry, and biology of pain but with a slow uptake in translating that knowledge to medical care. There have been some important advances in how to care for pain but the public and most medical practitioners are still unaware. This state of affairs makes it very clear why this important anthology needs to be read. One of the important things we have recently learned about pain is that it is complex...
